The departure of the county king is irrelevant, but it also shows the prestige of the Temple of Light on the continent, and in the entire continent, only Atlanta City dares to treat the temple so casually.

After a night, the caravan set off again.

Along the way, the people in the caravan kept discussing that if they were lucky, they could see the prayers of the temple pope himself.

The person in charge of the caravan said with a smile that the annual prayer held in the imperial capital is a major event in the Xingluo Empire, and it is more lively than the New Year's Festival, and the Pope personally does not necessarily take action once a year.

Joffrey smiled and said, "Archbishop Maximus's cultivation is not bad, I don't think it should be much worse." ”

Five years ago, Atlanta's methods were not peaceful, and the reason why Atlantan City was able not to be defined as a heresy by the temple was that Maximus should have played a big role in it.

In the past five years, Maximus has continued to rectify the clergy, and many high-ranking clergy in the north have been replaced, Ari and Kochad have talked about this matter, Kotchard is also more puzzled, the old dean asked him to guard against the temple before leaving, and even left some back-up, but he didn't expect that the last one was useless, and the power of the temple in the north completely shrank without any intention of breaking out.

Maximus returned to the imperial capital of the Xingluo Empire last year, the specific situation is unknown, and Ai Rui is going to visit the Xingluo Empire again, and the matter of Yelena may have to fall on such an archbishop.

Elena's information is relatively easy to obtain, but it is not very good as a preparatory saintess, and the power behind her is too weak, or even has no power.

Atlanta City's attitude towards the temple has brought her a lot of trouble, in the fifth grade, in the battle with the Star Luo Empire, she fell into an absolute disadvantage, even if Maximus returned to the royal capital last year, it will not help her situation.

Joffrey's words were listened to by others, and he said with a smile: "Archbishop Maximus is good, but it is still far from that compared to the Pope, if you can get the Pope's blessing, not only will you be well from your illness, but you can also be blessed by the goddess of light, and you have the potential to break through the advanced profession." ”

Joffrey pouted: "If there is such a thing, the temple is not dead, I will not be eight or nine years long ago." ”

Hearing this, Ari shook his head: "In Atlanta City, it doesn't matter if you go to someone else's territory and coax a little, there is no harm. The temple can become the biggest force on the continent, there must be something special about it, and Archbishop Maximus can also prove this, I once received holy water baptism, and the effect is indeed good. ”

Hearing this, the head of the caravan said enviously: "It is an honor that only a king can have to be baptized by an archbishop himself. ”

Naturally, Ari doesn't have a say much about this kind of hunger marketing, which is one of Atlanta's most common business strategies.

Seeing that the person in charge was also a well-informed person, Ai Rui asked with interest: "Let's talk about the Xingluo Empire, you often travel back and forth between the two countries, and you must be able to know something that others don't know." ”

"Xingluo Empire, how can you say it. The head of the caravan thought for a while and said: "The emperor is getting older and older, but he has not chosen an heir for a long time, the eldest prince and the seventh prince are the most likely to inherit the empire, the eldest prince is generous, and the seventh prince is erudite, by the way, the seventh prince himself is still an eighth-level magician, and there is the support of the magician guild behind him, if the temple can also support him, maybe the final heir of the empire is really him." ”

"What is the attitude of the two princes towards Atlanta?" asked Ari.

"The eldest prince has a generous personality and does not like war, except for his tougher attitude towards the Dark Alliance, he is always in harmony, it is said that the eldest prince has been opposing war with the Chaman Empire, but this time His Majesty the Emperor is more inclined to the Seven Princes. ”

"The Seven Princes are more hostile to the Chaman Empire?" asked Ari.

The head of the caravan said: "The war with the Chaman Empire was single-handedly promoted by this Seventh Prince, otherwise the Chaman Empire would not be what it is today, and even, not long ago, the Seven Princes took the initiative to ask Ying and wanted to go to the front line." ”

From the words of the caravan leader, Ari also heard something, this Seventh Prince seemed to be a very ambitious and capable guy, a little bit of Tolkien's feelings.

But Ari was just having fun, and these were all hearsay from the head of the caravan. Politics is not a simple matter, it is not black and white, and the positions they show are not necessarily their real positions.

Stopping and resting along the way, more than a month later, Eri and his party finally arrived at the imperial capital of the Xingluo Empire.

Looking at the towering city wall in front of him, Ai Rui didn't mean to be too shocked, even if it was the imperial capital of the Xingluo Empire, it was not as good as Atlanta City, which was currently the best city on the continent.

Entering the city, the imperial capital of the Xingluo Empire gives everyone the feeling that it is a big word, Atlanta City is already big enough, but the empire is estimated to be about twice as large as Atlanta City.

After entering the city, the Xingluo Empire had already sent a reception and arranged a place for Ai Rui and the others in the city, and Ai Rui did not refuse, and when he arrived here, there was no need to follow the caravan anymore.

The Xingluo Empire has arranged a noble castle located in the central area, in addition to a main castle, there is also a small back garden at the back, and the environment is very good.

Although Eri was not very picky about these things, he was really satisfied with the castle, and the task of assigning the room was given to Joffrey, and Lilia was originally more comfortable doing these things, but since Carol was here, Ari felt that he should not do anything that might cause a fight.

Before Joffrey could allocate a room, guests arrived at the castle.

Ari wasn't very familiar with these people, but Joffrey did.

"Arnold, why are you here?" Joffrey looked curiously at the somewhat samurai-like magician in front of him, they hadn't seen each other since the match five years ago.

Arnold glanced at Ari, turned his head to Joffrey and said, "I heard that you are coming to the Xingluo Empire, the academy specially arranged for me to come to you as a guide, if there is anything unfamiliar, you can consult me directly." ”

"By the way, may I introduce me, this is ......" Arnold's gaze shifted to Ari's again.

"I'm Ari of Atlanta, Lord Arnold, hello. Hearing this, Ari took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

Arnold also knew that shaking hands was the etiquette of Atlanta City, so he immediately stretched out his hand and shook Ari, stood and said: "I have always been curious about Ari City Lord, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to see it today, and it is indeed younger and better than the legend." ”

"Hehe, thank you, the credibility of the rumors is not very good, I'm just an ordinary person, but I'm just a little lucky. Ari was no longer interested in this kind of business exchange, and instead said, "I have always been a little curious about the Xuanwu Ace Academy, but His Excellency Arnold can arrange for us to visit it if he is free." ”

"No problem, you guys take a break, we can visit the academy the day after tomorrow, the dean of the academy is very curious about the Arrow City Lord, and he has long wanted to meet the Arrow City Lord. ”

"It's my pleasure. ”

"Then I won't bother today. ”

"Good. ”

......

After Arnold left, Joffrey looked at the direction he left and said: "This Arnold's strength is good, I almost suffered a loss back then, but I didn't expect him to be a dual-line initiate." ”

Ai Rui nodded: "It's really not bad, he can reach the peak of a seventh-level magician at this age, it is estimated that it only takes a few months for him to break through to the eighth level." ”

"It is said that he was blessed by the Pope to become what he is today," Joffrey said. ”

Ari shook his head: "This world never looks at the process, everyone only looks at the result, it doesn't matter what experience he has had, what matters is what he will achieve in the future." ”

"I see. Joffrey nodded, and was about to say something when someone came to the door again.

"Our Highness has a noble banquet tonight, and if you want to invite the City Lord of Eri and your companions to attend, please be sure to enjoy it. The visitor handed over the invitation and said respectfully.

Ai Qing took the invitation and took a look at the payment, Noyce is His Royal Highness the Grand Prince of the Xingluo Empire.

"I'm sorry, I don't have my aristocratic status, and since it's a noble banquet, I don't think I'm very suitable to participate. He returned the invitation to the visitor and refused without hesitation.

It's not a good thing to get involved in this kind of thing as soon as you come, not to mention, the banquets of the nobles are usually boring and long, so Ari is not willing to waste time on this, stupidly waiting for the banquet to end.

Rejecting the Grand Prince's invitation, Ari turned his head and forgot about it, and began to ask people to look for Aljet's figure.

In the past half a month, the Ministry of Supervision has already sent a lot of people to the Xingluo Empire, but the Xingluo Empire has a large population, and the manpower of the Ministry of Supervision has entered the sea with water droplets here, and it is not easy to find someone in a short period of time.

Ari is not in a hurry, with Algert's strength, there will be no problems, if there is a real problem, then the matter will be big.

The envoy returned, and in the imperial palace of the imperial capital, the eldest prince received the news that Eri refused to attend the banquet.

"It seems that this city lord did not accept my kindness. In the splendid palace, a middle-aged man with a generous face looked at several nobles around him and said, with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be no mustard.

One of the people on the lower side said gloomily: "I will let him understand that this is the imperial capital, not his Atlantan City." ”

The eldest prince waved his hand: "Forget it, Atlanta City now has an unusual status on the continent, this time, that magic puppet is even more shocking to the mainland, he has the qualifications to be proud, however, don't pay attention to him, what we have to do now is to quickly get the support of the temple, this, my younger brother, seems to be ahead of us." ”

"Does His Royal Highness the Grand Prince mean the Holy Maiden Melly?" someone asked.

"That's right. The eldest prince nodded, and said with a little worry: "It is said that the Holy Maiden Merry admires my younger brother very much, and mentioned him in front of the Pope several times, and almost directly and publicly supported him. ”

"Actually, we can also unite with the Holy Maiden of Elena, and with our support, the Holy Maiden of Elena may also have a chance to ......"

The eldest prince shook his head: "It's better to fight for the Holy Maiden of Merry, or to win a few more archbishops, although the Holy Maiden of Yelena has a high support rate among the people, when the Holy Maiden of the Temple chooses really depends on the choice of the people." ”

"Yes. ”

......

At the same time, in this palace, another palace, a young man also received this news.

"Oh, this lord rejected my brother. There was a hint of surprise in the young man's tone.

In the room, there was also a butler, who bowed his head and asked respectfully when he heard this: "Since you have rejected Your Highness, maybe he also supports Your ...... of Your Highness the Seventh."

The young man laughed when he heard this: "Don't say that. According to my estimates, this city lord will not support anyone, after all, above his position, we are all enemies. ”

The housekeeper didn't care about this matter, nodded, and reminded: "Your Highness, the time is almost up, and you also invited the Holy Maiden Merry to have afternoon tea." ”

"Merry Holy Maiden......" The young man muttered, suddenly sighed, and said: "It would be nice if it was the Holy Maiden of Elena, but I hope that the Holy Maiden of Elena will succeed even more." ”

"Holy Lady Elena is impossible, Your Highness does not need to spend time on her. ”

"Perhaps. The young man thought for a while, and suddenly said: "The afternoon tea with the Holy Maiden Melly in the afternoon helped me cancel, just say that I am not feeling well, and I will make an appointment another day." ”

"Cancellation?" The butler raised his head, his eyes were a little surprised: "Holy Maiden Merry is very optimistic about Your Highness now, maybe you just need to work harder to get her support, although she can't influence the Pope's decision, but she is also a pivotal figure in the temple." ”

The young man waved his hand: "Needless to say, I have already made up my mind, by the way, help me make an appointment with Archbishop Maximus, it will be done in secret, and in the end no one knows." ”

The butler nodded respectfully when he heard this, did not insist any longer, and quickly withdrew from the room.

The young man stood in front of his desk, picked up a pen and wrote the four big characters of Atlanta City on the paper, and then suddenly laughed: "Perhaps, the key this time is really in Atlanta City." ”

In the central area, in the castle where Ari and the others lived.

The people sent by Ari came back and replied that they did not find Algert, but they did find that half a month ago, there was a person who tried to forcibly see the Holy Maiden of Elena, but was stopped by the temple guards, and finally lost his trace in the city.

Ari estimated that the person should be Algert, but since he suddenly disappeared half a month ago, maybe he would have seen Yelena by now, otherwise he wouldn't be so quiet.

As for the matter of being evaporated from the world, Ari didn't think about it, Aljet's strength is not weak, and if he wants to make him disappear silently, there are few people who can do it.
